STE53NC50N-CHANNEL 500V 0.070 OHM 53A ISOTOP POWERMESH II MOSFET | Discrete Semiconductor Products | 1 | Active | The PowerMESHTMII is the evolution of the first generation of MESH OVERLAYTM. The layout refinements introduced greatly improve the Ron*area figure of merit while keeping the device at the leading edge for what concerns swithing speed, gate charge and ruggedness. |
STEC01Ground Path Safety Switch with programmable timers | Specialized ICs | 1 | Active | The STEC01 is an integrated programmable 12 mΩ power switch managed by the timer based circuitry.
The device has 3 timers designed to interrupt the ground path of a power application after a maximum on-time and inhibits the restart of the platform during a cooling window. The maximum on-time can be set from few seconds to hundreds of seconds, while the cooling window can be programmed to 69, 345 and 1380 seconds.
3 multi-level input pins, combined with a programmable oscillator and a fixed oscillator, are used to set the timing.
An input continuous or pulsed signal applied to the PWM pin starts the internal logic and counters. In case of a normal operation, as soon as the activity on the PWM pin stops, the device automatically enters idle mode, waiting for a new valid PWM signal to be applied. If the device detects a fault condition, a reset pulse is generated and the safety MOSFET is turned off and managed according to a predefined state machine.
The STEC01 has a continuous current capability up to 7 A through the internal power MOSFET. A higher current can be supported by using an external power transistor driven through GDRV pin.
A rising edge on the HW_RESET input pin generates a 57 ms pulse on the RESET_FAULT pin. This function can be used to notify the connection of an external power source (e.g. USB). |
STEF018 V to 48 V fully programmable universal electronic fuse | Integrated Circuits (ICs) | 1 | Active | The STEF01 is a universal integrated electronic fuse optimized for monitoring output current and the input voltage on DC power lines.
When connected in series to the main power rail, it is able to detect and react to overcurrent and overvoltage conditions. When an overload condition occurs, the device limits the output current to a safe value defined by the user. If the anomalous overload condition persists, the device goes into an open state, disconnecting the load from the power supply.
The device is fully programmable. UVLO, overvoltage clamp and start-up time can be set by means of external components.
The adjustable turn-on time is useful to keep the in-rush current under control during startup and hot-swap operations. The device provides either thermal latch and auto-retry protection modes, which are selectable by means of a dedicated pin.
The STEF01 provides a gate driver pin for an external power MOSFET to implement a reverse-current blocking circuit. The intervention of the thermal protection is signaled to the board monitoring circuits through a signal on the fault pin. |
STEF033Electronic fuse for 3.3 V line | Integrated Circuits (ICs) | 1 | Active | The STEF033 is an integrated electronic fuse optimized for monitoring output current and the input voltage. Connected in series to the 3.3 V rail, it is able to protect the electronic circuitry on its output from overcurrent and overvoltage. The STEF033 has controlled delay and turn-on time. When an overload condition occurs, the device limits the output current to a predefined safe value. If the anomalous overload condition persists, it goes into an open state, disconnecting the load from the power supply. If a continuous short-circuit is present on the board, when the power is re-applied the E-fuse initially limits the output current to a safe value and then goes again into the open state. The voltage clamping circuit prevents the output voltage from exceeding a fixed value, if the input voltage goes beyond this threshold. The device is equipped with a thermal protection circuit. Intervention of thermal protection is signaled to the board-monitoring circuits through an appropriate signal on the Fault pin. Unlike mechanical fuses, which must be physically replaced after a single event, the E-fuse does not degrade in its performances following short-circuit/thermal protection intervention and is reset either by re-cycling the supply voltage or using the appropriate Enable pin. The STEF033 is also available in an auto-retry version; in case of thermal fault it automatically attempts to re-apply power to the load when the die temperature returns to a safe value. |

If the anomalous overload condition persists, it goes into an open state, disconnecting the load from the power supply. If a continuous short-circuit is present on the board, when the power is re-applied the eFuse initially limits the output current to a safe value and then goes again into the open state.

When connected in series to the main power rail, it is able to precisely detect and react to overcurrent and overvoltage conditions.
When an overload condition occurs, the device limits the output current to a safe value defined by the user. If the anomalous overload condition persists, the device goes into an open state, disconnecting the load from the power supply.
In case of overvoltage on the input, the device regulates the output to a preset safe value.

| Current Regulation/Management | 1 | Active | The STEF512SRDB is an integrated dual electronic fuse, designed to protect circuitry on the output from overcurrent and overvoltage events, in those applications requiring hot-swap operation and in-rush current control.
The device embeds two electronic fuses, one for the 5 V rail and one for the 12 V rail.
Thanks to the very low ON-resistance of the integrated power MOSFETs, the voltage drop from the main supply to the load is very low during normal operation. The 5 V channel provides a reverse blocking feature, preventing current flow to the input in case of brownout or shutdown.
The start-up time of each eFuse can be adjusted by the user, via two small soft-start capacitors, connected to the relevant pins. In this way the in-rush current at startup can be kept under control. The maximum load current is precisely limited, by utilizing a sense FET topology, to factory-defined values.
The device also provides precise overvoltage clamp for each channel, preventing the load being damaged from power supply failures, and undervoltage lockout (UVLO), assuring that the input voltage is above the minimum operating threshold, before the power device is turned on.
When an overload condition occurs, the STEF512SRDB limits the output current to the predefined safe value. If the anomalous overload condition persists, the device goes into thermal shutdown, the internal switch is open and the load is disconnected from the power supply. 5 V fixed LDO is available to supply external load up to 10 mA. |
